Time Out says

An excellent documentary, filmed at the Thubten Choling Monastery, high on the remote northern slopes of Everest, where in a form unchanged for over 400 years, the followers of the Tibetan Buddhist 'Diamond Path' have performed their spectacular and beautiful religious dance festival known as 'Mani-Rimdu': a three-week ceremony of empowerment, ritual and celebration wherein the initiates assume the form of 'Lord of the Dance' and annually banish the destructive spiritual forces of the universe.
